| Sura - 37 The Arrangers. | |||
| In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful | |||
| 1 | [ 37: 1 ] The arrangers in columns. | ||
| 2 | [ 37: 2 ] The blamers of those to be blamed. | ||
| 3 | [ 37: 3 ] The reciters of the messages. | ||
| 4 | [ 37: 4 ] Your god is only one. | ||
| 5 | [ 37: 5 ] The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them, and Lord of the easts. | ||
| 6 | [ 37: 6 ] We have adorned the lowest heaven with adorning planets. | ||
| 7 | [ 37: 7 ] We guarded it from every evil devil. | ||
| 8 | [ 37: 8 ] They cannot spy on the High Society; they get bombarded from every side. | ||
| 9 | [ 37: 9 ] They have been condemned; they have incurred an eternal retribution. | ||
| 10 | [ 37: 10 ] If any of them ventures to charge the outer limits, he gets struck with a fierce projectile. | ||
| 11 | [ 37: 11 ] Ask them, " Are they more difficult to create, or the other creations? " We created them from wet mud. | ||
| 12 | [ 37: 12 ] While you are awed, they mock. | ||
| 13 | [ 37: 13 ] When reminded, they take no heed. | ||
| 14 | [ 37: 14 ] When they see proof, they ridicule it. | ||
| 15 | [ 37: 15 ] They say, " This is obviously magic! | ||
| 16 | [ 37: 16 ] " After we die and become dust and bones, do we get resurrected? | ||
| 17 | [ 37: 17 ] " Even our ancient ancestors? " | ||
| 18 | [ 37: 18 ] Say, " Yes, you will be forcibly summoned. " | ||
| 19 | [ 37: 19 ] All it takes is one nudge, whereupon they ( stand up ) looking. | ||
| 20 | [ 37: 20 ] They will say, " Woe to us; this is the Day of Judgment. " | ||
| 21 | [ 37: 21 ] This is the day of decision that you used to disbelieve in. | ||
| 22 | [ 37: 22 ] Summon the transgressors, and their spouses, and the idols they worshipped | ||
| 23 | [ 37: 23 ] beside GOD, and guide them to the path of Hell. | ||
| 24 | [ 37: 24 ] Stop them, and ask them: | ||
| 25 | [ 37: 25 ] " Why do you not help one another? " | ||
| 26 | [ 37: 26 ] They will be, on that day, totally submitting. | ||
| 27 | [ 37: 27 ] They will come to each other, questioning and blaming one another. | ||
| 28 | [ 37: 28 ] They will say ( to their leaders ), " You used to come to us from the right side. " | ||
| 29 | [ 37: 29 ] They will respond, " It is you who were not believers. | ||
| 30 | [ 37: 30 ] " We never had any power over you; it is you who were wicked. | ||
| 31 | [ 37: 31 ] " We justly incurred our Lord's judgment; now we have to suffer. | ||
| 32 | [ 37: 32 ] " We misled you, only because we were astray. " | ||
| 33 | [ 37: 33 ] Thus, together they will all partake of the retribution on that day. | ||
| 34 | [ 37: 34 ] This is how we requite the guilty. | ||
| 35 | [ 37: 35 ] When they were told, " Laa Elaaha Ella Allah [ There is no other god beside GOD ], " they turned arrogant. | ||
| 36 | [ 37: 36 ] They said, " Shall we leave our gods for the sake of a crazy poet? " | ||
| 37 | [ 37: 37 ] In fact, he has brought the truth, and has confirmed the messengers. | ||
| 38 | [ 37: 38 ] Most assuredly, you will taste the most painful retribution. | ||
| 39 | [ 37: 39 ] You are requited only for what you have done. | ||
| 40 | [ 37: 40 ] Only GOD's servants who are absolutely devoted to Him alone ( will be saved ). | ||
| 41 | [ 37: 41 ] They have deserved provisions that are reserved specifically for them. | ||
| 42 | [ 37: 42 ] All kinds of fruits. They will be honored. | ||
| 43 | [ 37: 43 ] In the gardens of bliss. | ||
| 44 | [ 37: 44 ] On furnishings close to one another. | ||
| 45 | [ 37: 45 ] Cups of pure drinks will be offered to them. | ||
| 46 | [ 37: 46 ] Clear and delicious for the drinkers. | ||
| 47 | [ 37: 47 ] Never polluted, and never exhausted. | ||
| 48 | [ 37: 48 ] With them will be wonderful companions. | ||
| 49 | [ 37: 49 ] Protected like fragile eggs. | ||
| 50 | [ 37: 50 ] They will come to each other, and confer with one another. | ||
| 51 | [ 37: 51 ] One of them will say, " I used to have a friend. | ||
| 52 | [ 37: 52 ] " He used to mock: `Do you believe all this? | ||
| 53 | [ 37: 53 ] " `After we die and turn into dust and bones, do we get called to account?' " | ||
| 54 | [ 37: 54 ] He will say, " Just take a look! " | ||
| 55 | [ 37: 55 ] When he looks, he will see his friend in the heart of Hell. | ||
| 56 | [ 37: 56 ] He ( will go to him and ) say, " By GOD, you almost ruined me. | ||
| 57 | [ 37: 57 ] " If it were not for my Lord's blessing, I would have been with you now. | ||
| 58 | [ 37: 58 ] " ( Do you still believe ) that we die, | ||
| 59 | [ 37: 59 ] " only the first death, and we never receive any requital? " | ||
| 60 | [ 37: 60 ] Such is the greatest triumph. | ||
| 61 | [ 37: 61 ] This is what every worker should work for. | ||
| 62 | [ 37: 62 ] Is this a better destiny, or the tree of bitterness? | ||
| 63 | [ 37: 63 ] We have rendered it a punishment for the transgressors. | ||
| 64 | [ 37: 64 ] It is a tree that grows in the heart of Hell. | ||
| 65 | [ 37: 65 ] Its flowers look like the devils' heads. | ||
| 66 | [ 37: 66 ] They will eat from it until their bellies are filled up. | ||
| 67 | [ 37: 67 ] Then they will top it with a hellish drink. | ||
| 68 | [ 37: 68 ] Then they will return to Hell. | ||
| 69 | [ 37: 69 ] They found their parents astray. | ||
| 70 | [ 37: 70 ] And they blindly followed in their footsteps. | ||
| 71 | [ 37: 71 ] Most of the previous generations have strayed in the same manner. | ||
| 72 | [ 37: 72 ] We have sent to them warners. | ||
| 73 | [ 37: 73 ] Note the consequences for those who have been warned. | ||
| 74 | [ 37: 74 ] Only GOD's servants who are absolutely devoted to Him alone ( are saved ). | ||
| 75 | [ 37: 75 ] Thus, Noah called upon us, and we were the best responders. | ||
| 76 | [ 37: 76 ] We saved him and his family from the great disaster. | ||
| 77 | [ 37: 77 ] We made his companions the survivors. | ||
| 78 | [ 37: 78 ] And we preserved his history for subsequent generations. | ||
| 79 | [ 37: 79 ] Peace be upon Noah among the peoples. | ||
| 80 | [ 37: 80 ] We thus reward the righteous. | ||
| 81 | [ 37: 81 ] He is one of our believing servants. | ||
| 82 | [ 37: 82 ] We drowned all the others. | ||
| 83 | [ 37: 83 ] Among his followers was Abraham. | ||
| 84 | [ 37: 84 ] He came to his Lord wholeheartedly. | ||
| 85 | [ 37: 85 ] He said to his father and his people, " What are you worshipping? | ||
| 86 | [ 37: 86 ] " Is it these fabricated gods, instead of GOD, that you want? | ||
| 87 | [ 37: 87 ] " What do you think of the Lord of the universe? " | ||
| 88 | [ 37: 88 ] He looked carefully at the stars. | ||
| 89 | [ 37: 89 ] Then he gave up and said, " I am tired of this! " | ||
| 90 | [ 37: 90 ] They turned away from him. | ||
| 91 | [ 37: 91 ] He then turned on their idols, saying, " Would you like to eat? | ||
| 92 | [ 37: 92 ] " Why do you not speak? " | ||
| 93 | [ 37: 93 ] He then destroyed them. | ||
| 94 | [ 37: 94 ] They went to him in a great rage. | ||
| 95 | [ 37: 95 ] He said, " How can you worship what you carve? | ||
| 96 | [ 37: 96 ] " When GOD has created you, and everything you make! " | ||
| 97 | [ 37: 97 ] They said, " Let us build a great fire, and throw him into it. " | ||
| 98 | [ 37: 98 ] They schemed against him, but we made them the losers. | ||
| 99 | [ 37: 99 ] He said, " I am going to my Lord; He will guide me. " | ||
| 100 | [ 37: 100 ] " My Lord, grant me righteous children. " | ||
| 101 | [ 37: 101 ] We gave him good news of a good child. | ||
| 102 | [ 37: 102 ] When he grew enough to work with him, he said, " My son, I see in a dream that I am sacrificing you. What do you think? " He said, " O my father, do what you are commanded to do. You will find me, GOD willing, patient. " | ||
| 103 | [ 37: 103 ] They both submitted, and he put his forehead down ( to sacrifice him ). | ||
| 104 | [ 37: 104 ] We called him: " O Abraham. | ||
| 105 | [ 37: 105 ] " You have believed the dream. " We thus reward the righteous. | ||
| 106 | [ 37: 106 ] That was an exacting test indeed. | ||
| 107 | [ 37: 107 ] We ransomed ( Ismail ) by substituting an animal sacrifice. | ||
| 108 | [ 37: 108 ] And we preserved his history for subsequent generations. | ||
| 109 | [ 37: 109 ] Peace be upon Abraham. | ||
| 110 | [ 37: 110 ] We thus reward the righteous. | ||
| 111 | [ 37: 111 ] He is one of our believing servants. | ||
| 112 | [ 37: 112 ] Then we gave him the good news about the birth of Isaac, to be one of the righteous prophets. | ||
| 113 | [ 37: 113 ] We blessed him and Isaac. Among their descendants, some are righteous, and some are wicked transgressors. | ||
| 114 | [ 37: 114 ] We also blessed Moses and Aaron. | ||
| 115 | [ 37: 115 ] We delivered them and their people from the great disaster. | ||
| 116 | [ 37: 116 ] We supported them, until they became the winners. | ||
| 117 | [ 37: 117 ] We gave both of them the profound scripture. | ||
| 118 | [ 37: 118 ] We guided them in the right path. | ||
| 119 | [ 37: 119 ] We preserved their history for subsequent generations. | ||
| 120 | [ 37: 120 ] Peace be upon Moses and Aaron. | ||
| 121 | [ 37: 121 ] We thus reward the righteous. | ||
| 122 | [ 37: 122 ] Both of them were among our righteous servants. | ||
| 123 | [ 37: 123 ] Elias was one of the messengers. | ||
| 124 | [ 37: 124 ] He said to his people, " Would you not work righteousness? | ||
| 125 | [ 37: 125 ] " Do you worship a statue, instead of the Supreme Creator? | ||
| 126 | [ 37: 126 ] " GOD; your Lord, and the Lord of your forefathers! " | ||
| 127 | [ 37: 127 ] They disbelieved him. Consequently, they had to be called to account. | ||
| 128 | [ 37: 128 ] Only GOD's servants who are absolutely devoted to Him alone ( are saved ). | ||
| 129 | [ 37: 129 ] We preserved his history for subsequent generations. | ||
| 130 | [ 37: 130 ] Peace be upon Elias, and all those like Elias. | ||
| 131 | [ 37: 131 ] We thus reward the righteous. | ||
| 132 | [ 37: 132 ] He was one of our believing servants. | ||
| 133 | [ 37: 133 ] Lot was one of the messengers. | ||
| 134 | [ 37: 134 ] We saved him and all his family. | ||
| 135 | [ 37: 135 ] Only the old woman was doomed. | ||
| 136 | [ 37: 136 ] We annihilated all the others. | ||
| 137 | [ 37: 137 ] You still pass by their ruins by day. | ||
| 138 | [ 37: 138 ] And by night. Would you understand? | ||
| 139 | [ 37: 139 ] Jonah was one of the messengers. | ||
| 140 | [ 37: 140 ] He escaped to the loaded ship. | ||
| 141 | [ 37: 141 ] He rebelled and thus, he joined the losers. | ||
| 142 | [ 37: 142 ] Consequently, the fish swallowed him, and he was the one to blame. | ||
| 143 | [ 37: 143 ] If it were not that he resorted to meditation ( on God ), | ||
| 144 | [ 37: 144 ] he would have stayed in its belly until the Day of Resurrection. | ||
| 145 | [ 37: 145 ] We had him thrown up into the desert, exhausted. | ||
| 146 | [ 37: 146 ] We had a tree of edible fruit grown for him. | ||
| 147 | [ 37: 147 ] Then we sent him to a hundred thousand, or more. | ||
| 148 | [ 37: 148 ] They did believe, and we let them enjoy this life. | ||
| 149 | [ 37: 149 ] Ask them if your Lord have daughters, while they have sons! | ||
| 150 | [ 37: 150 ] Did we create the angels to be females? Did they witness that? | ||
| 151 | [ 37: 151 ] Indeed, they grossly blaspheme when they say - | ||
| 152 | [ 37: 152 ] " GOD has begotten a son. " Indeed, they are liars. | ||
| 153 | [ 37: 153 ] Did He choose the girls over the boys? | ||
| 154 | [ 37: 154 ] What is wrong with your logic? | ||
| 155 | [ 37: 155 ] Why do you not take heed? | ||
| 156 | [ 37: 156 ] Do you have any proof? | ||
| 157 | [ 37: 157 ] Show us your book, if you are truthful. | ||
| 158 | [ 37: 158 ] They even invented a special relationship between Him and the jinns. The jinns themselves know that they are subservient. | ||
| 159 | [ 37: 159 ] GOD be glorified; far above their claims. | ||
| 160 | [ 37: 160 ] Only GOD's servants who are devoted to Him alone ( are saved ). | ||
| 161 | [ 37: 161 ] Indeed, you and what you worship. | ||
| 162 | [ 37: 162 ] Cannot impose anything on Him. | ||
| 163 | [ 37: 163 ] Only you will burn in Hell. | ||
| 164 | [ 37: 164 ] Each one of us has a specific job. | ||
| 165 | [ 37: 165 ] We are the arrangers. | ||
| 166 | [ 37: 166 ] We have duly glorified ( our Lord ). | ||
| 167 | [ 37: 167 ] They used to say, | ||
| 168 | [ 37: 168 ] " Had we received the correct instructions from our parents, | ||
| 169 | [ 37: 169 ] " we would have been worshipers; devoted to GOD alone. " | ||
| 170 | [ 37: 170 ] But they disbelieved, and they will surely find out. | ||
| 171 | [ 37: 171 ] Our decision is already decreed for our servants the messengers. | ||
| 172 | [ 37: 172 ] They are surely the victors. | ||
| 173 | [ 37: 173 ] Our soldiers are the winners. | ||
| 174 | [ 37: 174 ] So disregard them for awhile. | ||
| 175 | [ 37: 175 ] Watch them; they too will watch. | ||
| 176 | [ 37: 176 ] Do they challenge our retribution? | ||
| 177 | [ 37: 177 ] When it hits them one day, it will be a miserable day; they have been sufficiently warned. | ||
| 178 | [ 37: 178 ] Disregard them for awhile. | ||
| 179 | [ 37: 179 ] Watch them; they too will watch. | ||
| 180 | [ 37: 180 ] Glory be to your Lord, the great Lord; far above their claims. | ||
| 181 | [ 37: 181 ] Peace be upon the messengers. | ||
| 182 | [ 37: 182 ] Praise be to GOD, Lord of the universe. | ||
